ON JANUARY Sd WE ADVERTISED DECIDED
REDUCTIONS ON ALL READY-MADE GOODS IN
STOCK EXCEPT BLACK CLOTHS AND DoEsK1Ns.
AS WE ARE NOW PUTTING IN MEDIUM AND
LIGHT WEIGHT GOODS FOR SPRING WEAR WE
WISH TO HAVE 1T UNDERSTOOD THAT ON AND
AFTER MONDAY. FEBRUARY 14TH. OUR GOODS,
EXCEPT HEAVY WEIGHTS, WILL BE SOLD AT
OUR REGULAR PRICES. OUR HEAVY WEIGHTS
WILL CONTINUE TO GO AT THE REDUCTIONS
OF FROM TWENTY TO TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT
BELOW WINTER PRICES UNTIL THEY ARE
TAKEN OUT OF STOCK.
FROM THIS TIME ON WE WILL MAKE ALMOST
DAILY ADDITIONS TO OUR SPRING STOCK OF
GOODS SELECTED FROM TIE STOCKS OF
"wANAMAKER," OF PHILADELPHIA, AND THE
BEST AND MOST FASHIONABLE NEW YORK
MANUfACTURERS.
THE INCREASE OF OUR BUSINESS DURING
THE PAST YEAR Is EVIDENCE OF THE APPRE-
CITATION OF OUR GOODS AND PRICES BY THE
PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON. WE MEAN IN ru-
TURE TO CARRY AT ALL TIMES THE NEWEST
AND MOST DESIRABLE STYLES AND TO SELL
ONLY SUCH GOODS AS WE CAN GUARANTEE
IN SHORT, WE MEAN TO HAVE IN STOCK THE
BEST GOODS TO BE HAD ANYWHERE, NOT TO
KEEP THE sHODDY, LOWEST PRICED GOODS
THAT ARE DEAR AT ANY PRICE," AND TO
MAKE OUR PRICES AS HONEST As DUB GOODS.

LAST CA11.

We VERY MUCH DISLIKE TO HAVE OUR
FRIENDS ASK IN VAIN FOR AN ADyER-
TISED BARGAIN. WE ADVERTISED AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK THAT
ALL OF OUR TEN-DOLLAR BUSINESS
SUITS WERE MARKED DOWN TO SEVEN
DOLLARS. 1T WAS REASONABLE TO SUP
POSE THERE WOULD BE QUITE DE-
MAND FOR SUCH PRONOUNCED AND
TIMELY BARGAINS; BUT WE WERE
HARDLY PREPARED FOR THE RUSH
YES, THAT'S THE wORD-R U H-THAT
SUCH ANNOUNCEMENT CAUSED. THE
STEADY DEMAND FOR THESE SUITS AT
SEVEN DOLLARS EACH HAS LESSENED
THE NUMBER AMAZINGLY. WE COM.
MENCED THE SALE WITH 483 SUITS BY
ACTUAL COUNT. AND AS WE WRITE
THERE ARE ONLY sIxTy-NINE ON HAND;
AND YET THE WONDER IS THAT WE
SHOULD BE SURPRISED, BECAUSE A MO-
MENTs THOUGHT REMINDS US THAT NO
SUCH ABSOLUTE BARGAINS WERE EVER
OFFERED OUTSIDE THIS HOUSE LONG
YEARS AGO WE LEARNED TO STAND
LOSS GRACEFULLY. AND THAT, PERHAPS.
IS ONE OF THE GREAT SECRETS OF OUR
SUCCESS. THIS MAY SEEM PARADox1-
CAL. BUT WE'LL EXPLAIN: WHEN GOODS
SHOW A TENDENCY TO STICK, THEY
WILL NOT IMPROVE WITH AGE, AND THE
QUICKER THE MERCHANT REALIZES
THAT "FIRsT LOSS Is BEST LOSS" THE
BETTER FOR HIMSELF. OUR PLAN Is TO
TURN SUCH GOODS INTO CASH AT ONCE
TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WE WILL CUT THE
PRICE IN TWO IF NECESSARY. ONE WORD
MORE: THOSE IN NEED OF GOOD BUS.
MESS SUIT HAD BETTER LOSE NO TIME
INsECURINa ONE OF THOSE TEN.DoLIAR
SUITS NOW GOING AT SEVEN poLLARs
THIS is THE LAST TIME WE WILL NO.

Hares IN a Battle

A singular incident of the battle OF
Wagram. between the French and the
Austraus. is related by Capt. Blaze of
the French Imperial guard He says
that besides being great contest Of
arms, the day was great hare-hunt
There were 100000 hunters, half Aus
triaus and half French.
The plain was simply covered with
harcs which the long advance Of the
two armies had gathered into the mar
row space. Every ten steps we start
cd up one Of those animals. Frightened
BY our guns they ran for their lives,
and continued to run until they reached
the Austriaus lines. There they were
none the less terrified, and came rush
ing back upon us.
The soldiers were greatly amused by
the frantic movements Of the harcs,
ard could hardly be restrained from
making after thom.
Finally there was great Austrian
cavalry charge, which, of course, took
no account of the haros. The horses
plunged in among them, and they
rushed in dismay among the ranks Of
the French soldiers, who. confused by
so strange an attack began bayonetlng
the hares. Other soldiers, not inme.
dlately pressed by the onset of tho
enemy, caught un the trembling ami
mails Ia thoir hands
There was that day great slaught-
or Of men and Of harcs, and many y
shot destined for tho enemy struck oHe

believed that both the great armies had
